Our E3 2018 Recap

Welcome to E3, The Largest Gaming Convention in North America

The Electronic Entertainment Expo also known as E3 is one of the biggest if not the biggest event in the gaming industry. Each year video game enthusiasts, pro gamers, streamers, and everyone in between come together for an incredibly exciting three-day event full of exclusive launches, surprise releases, sneak peaks, and much more. With so much to do and see at E3, each year game enthusiasts await the first day of E3 like a little kid on Christmas. This is the Coachella or Glastonbury Music Festival of video games.

This year we were extremely fortunate to get a piece of the E3 action with Epic Games at their Fortnite booth. Epic Games having a massive year with the worldwide sensation of their game Fortnite pulled out all the stops for their E3 appearance.

Exclusives, Attractions, and More

In addition to the Loot Llama mechanical bull ride at the Fornite booth there was so much more to take in around the exposition hall from performances, cosplayers, exclusive swag bags, meet and greets for streamers, as well as playing games live from each of the vendors.
